TYPING TEST - SCORE-BANKING ONLY

Job Posting : Typing Test

This examination will remain open until the needs of the service are met and is subject to closure without prior notice. We invite you to apply to the Typing Test to help you prepare for a Los Angeles County job that requires typing skills. This posting is to allow candidates to take timed typing tests designed to measure speed and accuracy in typing. It will solely be used for record-keeping and transfer score purposes.

To compete for a specific job classification, a separate application is required. Candidates' most recent typing test scores will supersede all previous scores unless a passing score of 40 words per minute has been achieved.

This examination will consist of a timed typing test designed to measure speed and accuracy in typing. Test scores cannot be given over the phone. This typing test will be used in the future for new examinations that require typing skills. If your score meets the minimum words per minute for the examinations you apply for in the future, your scores will automatically be transferred.

The following applicants are NOT required to take the County typing test :

• Those candidates who currently hold or have held a typing position with the requisite words per minute in the service of the County of Los Angeles;
• Those candidates who have taken and passed a Los Angeles County typing performance test at the required words per minute, administered by a County Department.

Passing scores on record with the Department of Human Resources will be transferred automatically.
